That's the anti run-on valve. It's supposed to keep the engine from
dieseling after shutdown, but all it really does is make that stupid
clicking noise. Not a sign that anything's wrong, just a reminder that
British Leyland execs couldn't extricate their heads from their arses.
I disconnected the wires on mine, and I've never noticed its absence.
If I ever use low-grade gasoline, engine pinking becomes a problem long
before dieseling.
